Stade De France

The Stade de France is a stadium in Saint-Denis, France in the inner suburbs of Paris. It has a capacity of around 80,000. The stadium is currently used for the French rugby union team during the Six Nations and other internationals. The French football team also use the stadium for almost every home game, and it was there where they defeated Brazil 3-0 in the 1998 FIFA World Cup final. Paris's main rugby club, Stade Français, have also regularly used the stadium as a home ground in recent years. Stade de France is also the venue for the Top 14 (the domestic rugby championship) final, the France football Cup final and the French football league Cup (called League Cup) final every year. Stade de France has been the host for the Race of Champions for the past three years. In 2007, it hosted several matches of the Rugby World Cup, including the final, which was the theatre of the biggest Tifo ever realised in France: 80 000 spectators formed a giant mosaïc orchestrated by Megaphone Events. As of 2007, no other stadium has hosted the final of both a FIFA World Cup and a Rugby World Cup. The stadium can also be reconfigured to house a running track for track and field events, which was the case when the stadium played host to the 2003 World Championships in Athletics.
